Turkey’s interior minister said a suicide bomber detonated an explosive device in front of the ministry building in the Turkish capital, wounding two police officers.
Ali Yerlikaya said two attackers were responsible for the explosions in front of the ministry building. One of them blew himself and the other was “neutralised”, the minister said.
Security measures have been tightened around the parliament building and around the Interior Ministry building.
“Parliament is coming back today after its summer break. All parliamentarians, including the president, were expected to be at the Parliament in the afternoon around 2 pm,” Al Jazeera quoted its correspondent in Ankara as saying.
